Right here and now, ladies and gentlemen,

I'd like to introduce for you a

very soulful brother,

soul brother number one,

from Kingston, Jamaica way.

Thank you ever so kindly.

I'm here with my reggae machine,

and I'm gonna do you some

good

in the neighborhood like I should.

Hey, wait a minute, I hear a sound.

That sounds like organ.

Let me hear some drums

to go with it, please.
